Le temps [English translation]

Let me guide your steps through the life

Give me a chance to make you love me

Come like a child in the hollow of my shoulder

Give me the role to make you forget

The time that goes, the time that sleeps

The time with no joy, the time with wonders

The time of a day, the time of a second

The time that flies by with a rumblling noise

The time, the time, the time and nothing else

Yours and mine the one that we want as ours

The time, the time, the time and nothing else

Yours and mine, the one we want ours

The time that passes as soon as one is born

The time for love and to disappear

The time of weeping, the time of chances

The time that dies, the time of vacations

The time, the time, the time and nothing else

Yours and mine the one that we want as ours

The time, the time, the time and nothing else

Yours and mine, the one we want ours

The time of glory, the time of pre-war

The time to play, the time of affairs

The time of joy, the time of lies

The time of chilly weather, the time of dreams

The time, the time, the time and nothing else

Yours and mine the one that we want as ours

The time, the time, the time and nothing else

Yours and mine, the one we want ours

The time of the flooding, the time of foolishness

The time missed, The time of the life

The time that comes, but never stops

And I know it well that the life is made

Of the time of some, and the time of others

Yours, mine, and can become ours

The time, the time, the time

Of the time of some, and the time of others

Yours, mine, and can become ours

The time, the time, the time
